“Over the course of three seasons, the Michigan football program committed violations involving an off-campus, personal scouting scheme, unacceptable recruitment induction and communication, main coach responsibility rules, individuals’ failure to cooperate and Michigan’s failure to monitor, according to a decision by a divisional selection of a divisional committee,” in a press release.

NCAA said that the majority of violations in this case come from former Michigan football employee Connor Stalions’ unacceptable scouting schemes in seasons 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Stalions arranged for trainees and other employees to make off-campus, personally scout for future opponents. Those who were sent on the trip filmed and recorded their upcoming opponent’s characters, which stalls then deciphered.

“A total of 56 occurrences of Off-Campus, personal scouting of 13 future opponents of ordinary season, occurred over 52 competitions. Stalions’ behavior resulted in a collective level in violation of the unacceptable scout rule explicitly prohibits off-campus, personally scouts of future opponents,” NCAA said.

Stalions and other individuals destroyed and withheld information about the investigation. The panel said that “true scope and scope of the scheme” will never be known because of the destruction of evidence.

NCAA also said that former principal coach Jim Harbaugh, the then assistant coach and now the current principal coach Moore and the former director of player staff Denard Robinson all did not meet membership’s expectation of cooperation.

“Their behavior varied from destroying relevant materials to providing false and misleading information during interviews – including stalls that instruct an intern to” clear out “e emails, photos, texts and videos related to the scouting scheme,” NCAA said.
